| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Expressed in the heart, including apex, inter-ventricular septum, both atria and ventricles, but not in the aorta. Also expressed in fetal heart. Detected in various regions of the brain: cerebellum; occipital, frontal and parietal lobes. Also expressed in the lymph nodes, skeletal muscle, kidney and trachea, but not in the thymus or lung. Overexpressed in colorectal cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11866447}. |

| Subcellular location [CC] | Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12835322}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.; [Prostaglandin E synthase 2 truncated form]: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12835322}. Note=Synthesized as a Golgi membrane-bound protein, which is further cleaved into the predominant soluble truncated form. The truncated form is cytoplasmic and is enriched in the perinuclear region. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12835322}. |
